PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Places to go, people to see. both rolled into one here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed with chris in copenhagen, alicja in poznan, tomek in warsaw, and hosted a few times in frankfurt (oder). It has been a very pleasant experience and have tried doing my part in spreading the word around and my friends/acquaintances elsewhere are amazed at how such a system that works purely on trust can even exist in these days.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- most sub genres of rock and metal, Classic rock from the 70s is my most favourite. I am on the look out for new music all the time.

Books- read often (or used to, until life caught up with me), these days I just read when I'm travelling ( be it on the tram from office to home or from one city to another) I can't think of any particular genre, author as my favourite. Books that I read range from Economics(the Undercover economist) to Physics (trouble with physics) to Humour( Gerrald Durrell, Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy) and History ( The Berlin wall ) Fantasy(Silmarillion) and so on..

Don't watch too many movies, I run out of patience half way through most of the movies - Favourites would be Schindler's list, Shawshank redemption, GoodFellas and the like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

amazing thing done is to have lived so far, and to have seen and been thankful for all the silly litte things which make one smile

Teach, Learn, Share

I dont know much about teaching, but bring up any topic under the sun and I'm likely to have an opinion, and usually air it. You might find something interesting and learn something about it, or you can find it worthy of relegation to dustbins, in which case you still learn something about me (and people like me)

As for learning, I believe that everyone has something or the other to teach you and I'm constantly on the lookout for that something.
